One of the oldest and largest UFO organizations in the United States, MUFON's mission is the scientific investigation and study of UFOs for the benefit of humanity.

The Organization was established as the Midwest UFO Network in Quincy Illinois, on May 30, 1969, by Walter H. Andrus, Allen Utke, John Schuessler, and other scientific-minded researchers.

The organization's name was soon changed to The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) as interest grew and people began to join from all over the planet. The organization now has more than 3,000 members worldwide, with a majority of its membership base situated in the continental United States.

MUFON operates a worldwide network of regional directors with 800 Certified field investigators that investigate UFO reports that are made to MUFON International. MUFON holds annual international conferences and publishes the monthly MUFON UFO Journal.

The Mutual UFO Network provides opportunities for those seriously interested in the topic to train for volunteer positions with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) as Certified Field Investigators. If you interested in training, please contact Pennsylvania State Director John Ventre or Bill Weber thru MUFON PA Chief Investigator for Pennsylvania.
